    Lost wheel lock nut defender Brisbane.

    I lost my lock wheel nut tool. Last night when i drove off with the lock nut tool on. I was keen to test my new shocks.
    I thought ok, i can get the wheel nut off with a set of stilsons, but no luck. If any one has got a lock nut tool in Brisbane or Sunshine Coast i'll drive around and try it

    You'll need the correct tool for your lock nuts - there's a letter stamped on the nuts which must be matched with the tool.

    losing a lock nut is not a serious break down away from home or an emergency.

    This is a lesson to get rid of them all together. The tool will fail. Not good if it happens in remote locations.

    To remove hit a 24MM or 1" socket over the nut and remove with extension bar. Use a cheap socket if you have one as it can sometime be hard to tape the nut out after removal.

    Those locking nut kits came with two matching sockets I thought.

    There are differant ones but have a letter on so you can order a new one

    Off the top of my head I think there is 6 different types of locking nut

    I have two for this very reason.

    One I use and the other is in the bottom of the cubby box.


    Let me know what letter you need and I will see if it the same as mine and if it is you can borrow it until you get a new one


    Cheers
